Export data to Excel not working in Report Server
Just to add a little detail we're using Power BI Report Server, August 2017 Preview. On visualizations like Table, the Export Data feature is not working when viewing a Power BI report in the browser. THe option is available on the menu in the upper-right corner, but nothing happens when you click it.
Capturing network traffic in the browser's Developer Tools shows that the browser (this is seen in both IE 11 and Chrome) makes a request for http://powerbiservername/14.0.600.379/externals/filesaver.min.js when you click Export Data, but it receives a 404 (Not Found) response in reply.
An Error is also shown in the console:
message: "Script error for "filesaver"
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#scripterror"
Is there a workaround? It looks like all the resources (script, css, etc.) are compiled into DLLs, but is there any way to manually copy the missing filesaver.min.js somewhere and have the web server find it?
Thanks for reporting this, I just gave it a try and I was able to repro the issue. I'll get a bug filed for this and we'll get it taken care of. Unfortunately there isn't a workaroud at the moment.
Hi mgmeyer,
What is the typical timeline for resolving issues like this one? Will we need to wait until the next release of Report Server, or might we expect an earlier fix? Thanks for your help!
mgmeyer same issue here with us, this is quite a biggie, how soon can MS resolve this?
Hi there
Just want to know if this has been resolved? And when the new version of Power BI report server will be available post Oct 2017?
